I thought access lists were only for filtering, not for path selection?

An offset list is also a good option for metrics!

Wait, can you really influence inbound paths with AS_PATH?

Definitely agree, WEIGHT is key for BGP!

You can use a route map with the WEIGHT attribute for inbound traffic.

TRUE. When an edge port gets a BPDU, it becomes a regular STP port as part of the spanning tree.
